The Tawny Crazy Ant, an invasive species, has been identified in some campsites in Buescher State Park. These ants may crawl on your shoes, but they do not sting. Texas Parks and Wildlife Dept is working with experts to reduce the number of ants without harming the park's natural resources. Before leaving, thoroughly inspect your vehicle, RV, camping gear, and other equipment; If you see the ants, please notify park staff immediately and they can offer guidance for treating. For further information about the Tawny Crazy Ant, go to: http://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/park-information/invasive-ants. For park-specific questions, please contact the park headquarters.
